Other sites may send submissions elsewhere. > > Mike Sieweke Possible problem with this: As far as I understand this business of redistribution of ARPANET SIGs (such as INFO-VAX) to BITNET LISTSERV subscribers, it is *one way* only. That is, if you post something directly to a BITNET listserver, it will *not* be forwarded to the Internet side of things, cutting your submission off from a large portion of the INFO-VAX audience. The "officially reccomended" way of dealing with this is to send submissions to INFO-VAX@KL.SRI.ARPA, even if you're at a BITNET site.
